What is on-line check-in?

The simplest, quickest way to obtain your flight boarding card from home.

Reserve your seat and get your boarding pass from the moment you purchase all your flights from Iberia, Iberia Express and Air Nostrum, except for flights to/from London, the USA, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, República Dominicana, Honduras, Nicaragua and Cuba. On the rest of the flights, you can continue doing the check-in online starting the day prior to the flight. The time limit to obtain your boarding pass online is up to 1 hour prior to the scheduled flight departure (90 minutes in Lagos, San José and 180 minutes in Caracas).

If you prefer, you can also check in at the airport using our self-service check-in kiosks or at the counters.

MyBagTag: Check your baggage from home

Now when you check-in online through www.iberia.com on a direct flight (no connections) with origin or destination in any city in Spain on flights operated by the Iberia Group (Iberia, Iberia Express and Air Nostrum), you can add the number of suitcases you wish to take and print out the check-in tags on a single sheet of paper. You then fold the paper (one per suitcase, without copies or duplicates) into four and pop it into the plastic case you can pick up at airports in the Spanish network to reuse on various trips. Once at the airport, you just have to drop your suitcase off at the fast drop-off counters (In the case of Madrid, counters 810-811 and 850-851 at T4).

When you have left your suitcase you can make your way directly to the boarding gates.

The service will shortly be implemented at all airports in the European and international network and, in a third phase, on connecting flights.

The mobile boarding card

The mobile boarding pass is a 2D (QR) code which contains all of the flight data and lets you carry your boarding pass in your mobile terminal and proceed directly to the aircraft without having to carry more paperwork with you.
For efficient identification, you just have to hold your mobile terminal with the 2D image on the screen up to the card reader of the mobile boarding pass and wait a few seconds for the positive identification to be registered.
The mobile boarding pass can be used at the check-in counter, the security checks and at boarding. Identification is more streamlined and dynamic, with less paper used for printing boarding cards.
You will find all details on the mobile boarding pass, along with information on the airports where you can use it, at the end of the page Check-in Information.
